Brian is a study tool designed to help students acquire, apply, and deepen knowledge and skills. It generates formative feedback, which helps learners assess and improve their progress, rather than grading them summatively.
If you still wish to incorporate student use of Brian into your grading scheme, we recommend the following scale, which is based on the progress achieved within the learning environment.
Grading
- 50% progress C
- 60% progress B-
- 70% progress B
- 80% progress A-
- 90% progress A
Note: This grading scale is demanding but well within reach for engaged learners.
Important: The points awarded by Brian primarily measure student engagement, not actual learning progress.
Where can I find my students' learning progress?
You can find the students' progress under "Evaluation" and/or "Learners".
By clicking on individual learners (in "Evaluation" or under "Learners"), you will receive a detailed overview.

Interpretation of Brian’s Progress Levels
Beginner (1-25%): The student has just gotten started. They are in the early discovery phase and need to continue practicing to see results.
Up-and-Comer (26-50%): The student is gaining momentum. The basics are covered, but more practice is needed to consolidate knowledge.
Expert (51-75%): The learner has a good understanding. With a little more refinement, they can master the subject.
Master (76-100%): The learner has gained mastery, i.e. the highest level of understanding.
